Robert Steven Brown: The Man, The Myth, The Legend

I am Robert Steven Brown, a founder and a Managing Director of New World Merchant Partners LLC, a corporate transactional advisory firm. In the course of my work and my life I come across some interesting people, antecdotes, statements, books, and stories, which I feel should be expressed to someone or at least anyone who will listen, but which are somehow inappropriate for posting on my work blog (newworldmp.blogspot.com) or other blogs. I hope that you find these little posts as humorous, interesting, or illuminating as I do. Please feel free to post comments, whether or not offensive.

Three Cups of Tea

I just finished reading Three Cups of Tea, by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin.  A fantastic read about Greg Mortenson's amazing mission to promote peace and fight radical Islam through the establishment of schools, principally schools for girls, and humanitarian public works projects in northern and western Pakistan.  I find Mr. Mortenson to be  an incredible humanitarian.  I highly recommend the book and had a difficult time putting it down once I started.

I just ordered Greg Mortenson's second book, Stones into Schools, about his subsequent efforts to do the same in Afghanistan following the war with the United States.

Below is a link to a list of news articles regarding Greg Mortenson and his efforts in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
